Lead Us O Father in the Paths of Peace { Lead Us O Father in the Paths of Peace by William Henry Burleigh SONG 22-Orlando Gibbons BURLEIGH-Joseph Barnby ELLINGHAM-Samuel Sebastian Wesley LANGRAN-James Langran LONGWOOD-Joseph Barnby Lead Us, O Father, in the Paths of Peace } Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darksome night; Only with thee we journey safely on. Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be; Through joy or sorrow, as thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in thee.
